I beleive what you're refering to is PhoneNet (from Farrallon (sp?)) It 
allows AppleTalk connections over phone wires. However, it uses only 2 wires.
All it does is transmit the Appletalk protocol over twisted pair rather than
shielded apple cables. I run it all over campus here. It won't help you.
However, one possibility is to use the Shiva Telebridge. It lets you make
a remote connection to a mac net via a modem. This is god-awful slow for
file serving, but the Telebridge manual mentions the possibility of dialing in 
to the Mac net with a PC though.
We've had a couple telebridges sitting around not doing much, so I thought I
might try this once I get a few hours to spare to set it up.
